1 Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION The City of Oakland, Bay Area Rapid Transit, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and the Peralta Community College District have come together to prepare a Station Area Plan for the area around the Lake Merritt BART Station. The area encompasses Chinatown, Laney College, civic buildings of Alameda County and the City of Oakland, and the channel connecting Lake Merritt to the estuary. 1.1 Project, Goals & Objectives There are many diverse residents, students, employees, and com- Range of Topics Covered in the Plan mercial business owners who make up the community of this area, and Chinatown functions as a citywide center for the Asian The Station Area Plan will address the following topics: community. The Station Area Plan must address the needs of the community, as well as the needs of Bay Area Rapid Tran- • Land Use, Circulation, and Urban Design sit (BART) related to ridership, and the needs of the College – Housing Development District related to education and maximizing the use of their – Station Access land. BART has stated that it envisions the area transitioning from its current status as an “Urban Neighborhood Station” to a – Transportation “Regional Center” station type. Creation of a Station Area Plan – Standards and guidelines for public and private offers an important opportunity for the community to engage development that assure visual quality in the area The Lake Merritt BART Station Entrance.

Areas nearby the Planning • Historic and Cultural Resources Area of interest include Downtown Oakland, Old Oakland, • Regulatory Framework Jack London Square, and Uptown, illustrated in Figure 1.1. • Implementation Program Key Objectives A few of the key objectives of the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan, which will continue to develop and be refined throughout the planning process, include: • Provide for community development that is equitable, sustainable, and healthy. • Increase the housing supply, especially housing around the BART station. Include affordable housing for low-income residents. New housing development in Chinatown. Vibrant businesses exist now in Chinatown. • Increase jobs and improve access to jobs along the transit corridor. • Provide services and retail options in the station area. • Identify additional recreation and open space opportunities. Finally, the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan must provide an impetus for real development projects, and specific public improvements. The plan should generate interest, enthusiasm, and consensus about new development in the area and the most important public improvement projects for station access. The Main Oakland Public Library. 12th Street currently limits access to Lake Merritt from much of the Planning Area. Reconstruction of this road will begin in Spring 2010. 1-2 | EXISTING CONDITIONS AND KEY ISSUES REPORT Figure 1.1: VD BL Lake Merritt Station W A E N W LD A LAKE MErritt STAtion O VE E D Planning Area Context A N A V N L A A A K PRINCE ST VE MAR E AL M PLAnninG ArEA COntEXT R C AVE M Y A S A ALFOUR A EL V B A RA TELEGRAPH 34TH ST C W AR N OOD E Trestle THUR BL T SANT AVE A AVE VE C MAND BART Station CENTRAL L Glen A A ANA BL WTHORNE WEBSTER ST R GRAND HA A VD VD A R 33RD ST V GE E RID Y G BART A LON A ALE RD VE 580 VE A AKLAND EUCLID A A W O VE VE ORANGE ST D TRESTLE GLEN RD NORHTV A Park 32ND ST MAR 30TH ST O WEST ST P A R E VE B R TIN LUTHER KING JR K LAKESHORE I 29TH ST VERNON ST AMS ST N Focus Area S 31ST ST AD VE S A 30TH ST T CARTHUR BLVD B MA Planning Area - SAN P ALM E P L T CI ST LV GIR 28TH ST 7TH U IL 1/2 Mile Radius 2 E ABLO H 29TH ST Adams AVE E A MCKINLEY AV V EN E Railroad (Amtrak & Freight) A HARRISON ST Point UR VE 26TH ST B STA SP W VAN O E E LENO PR C AVE B LEE ST T A V 27TH ST A Y TEN A Y P L MERRITT Y E MARKET ST X 24TH ST A L AMORE ST HADDON RD VE S SYC A VE E VE A CLEVELAND ST VD ON ST W T 25TH ST GRAND MIL A ARK BL VE P A 23RD ST VE Cleveland OOKLYN AVE AVE BR MEAD 24TH ST Heights MYR B AVE E THENS L A W.

    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.

  • Bart Core System Parking Analysis
    Silicon Valley Rapid Transit Corridor Final EIR CHAPTER 5.0: BART CORE SYSTEM PARKING ANALYSIS 5.1 INTRODUCTION The “core system” represents those stations on the existing BART system outside of Santa Clara County. The 16 existing stations include South Alameda County – San Leandro, Bay Fair, Hayward, South Hayward, Union City, and Fremont; East Alameda County – Castro Valley and Dublin/Pleasanton; Oakland/Central Alameda County – MacArthur; North Alameda County/West Contra Costa County – El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrito Del Norte; and Central and East Contra Costa County – Lafayette, Concord, North Concord/Martinez and Pittsburg/Bay Point. New riders of the BART Alternative may walk, bicycle, use another transit mode, or park and board at one of the BART core system stations and take the train from there to a station along the BART Alternative within Santa Clara County. The number of potential new riders of the BART Alternative would be somewhat limited by the ability of those riders to park and board at core system stations. To achieve the anticipated ridership for the BART Alternative as described in this document, the additional parking demand that would be generated by those new riders must be accommodated. The regional transportation model shows that providing parking for riders who may board at core system stations would require approximately 3,200 spaces in 2025. Parking expansion at the BART core system stations to meet this additional parking demand is an integral part of the BART Alternative. To avoid displacing other users or diverting riders from using the BART system to travel to and from Santa Clara County, VTA will financially support BART in the expansion of parking in the core system by the number of spaces necessary to meet the demand generated by the BART Alternative.

The existing facilities require increased physical space and state of good repair improvements to achieve state- of-the art functionality, support improved BART operations, and accommodate operation of planned BART extension projects over the next 40 years, including the extension to Silicon Valley. Therefore, BART is currently proposing to design and construct a new Transit Operations Facility (TOF) to modernize current operations control infrastructure and technology to support system expansion.

    THE HOUSING CRISIS IN THE BAY AREA In A Recent 2019 Survey by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce • Housing issues remain the top concern. Asked to rank their “top issues,” 64 percent cited homelessness. The second most common response was “cost of rent,” cited by 41 percent of those polled. Third was the cost of owning a home, cited by 30 percent. 63 percent said availability of housing is getting worse. • San Franciscans want new transit projects. Almost every transit-related proposal considered for the city/region right now netted majority support in the poll, including a second Bay Bridge (50 percent), a second Transbay tube (77 percent), high-speed rail (80 percent), and new ferry service (84 percent). • More housing near transit favored. 74 percent of those polled said they favor “higher density housing near transit developments.” An even larger majority—79 percent—said the city should “maximize construction of all housing types.” • Conclusion: Housing remains a key deciding factor for Bay Area residents and the closer they live near their employment, the better the quality of their lives. If approved, SB50 will increase housing supply near public transportation, more people will ride buses & trains, congestion and carbon footprint will be eased. BART AND ASSEMBLY BILL (AB) 2923 • The state’s economic health is significantly tied to the regional economic health of the San Francisco Bay Area. The growth and success of the Bay Area’s economy is threatened by several challenges, including inadequate and unaffordable housing and excessive and increasing roadway congestion. In the state-mandated sustainable communities strategy for the Bay Area, locating affordable and market-rate housing near high-capacity transit is a primary tool with which to address these challenges and will keep the Bay Area on track to meet its state- mandated greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
